Both Sides the Tweed

a C F
1. What's the spring breathing jasmine and rose?
C a G
What's the summer with all its gay train?
a C F
Or the splendour of autumn to those
a G a
who've bartered their freedom for gain?
Refrain:
F e
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
a F G e
to the love of our people succeed.
a C F
Let friendship and honour unite
C G a
and flourish on both sides the Tweed.
a C F
2. No sweetness the senses can cheer
C a G
which corruption and bribery bind.
a C F
No brightness that gloom can e'er clear,
a G a
for honour's the sum of the mind.
a C F
3. Let virtue distinguish the brave,
C a G
place riches in lowest degree.
a C F
Think them poorest who can be a slave
a G a
them richest who dare to be free.
